7. Stockholders’ Equity
 
Reverse Stock Split
 
On June 15, 2012, the Company effected a reverse stock split with respect to all outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty. The Company also split the number of authorized shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-fourteen, thereby reducing the aggregate number of authorized common stock shares to 10,000,000, and also split the number of authorized shares of Class B common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty, thereby reducing the aggregate number of authorized Class B common stock shares to 3,750,000. All share and per share information and all necessary par value adjustments have been retroactively restated in the financial statements to reflect the effect of this reverse stock split.
 
Stock Repurchase Plan
 
On October 15, 2007, the Company announced the adoption of a stock repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $7.5 million of the Company’s common stock. Purchases will be funded out of cash on hand and made from time to time in the open market. From the inception of the buyback program through June 30, 2013, the Company had repurchased 40,481 shares at an average price of $106.62 per share, leaving $3,184,000 available under the repurchase plan. The shares repurchased are being held as treasury stock. As of June 30, 2013, there were no plans to repurchase any additional shares.
 
Dividends
 
The Company has not declared any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of the Senior Debt facility contain restrictions on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to pay dividends or other distributions, which will restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends in the future.
